Bracelets are the most underrated accessory, more like an afterthought usually, but they have much more power than that. They can add an extra element to a simple dress or completely transform the style of an outfit. This month, we’re looking at the very trendy cuff style versus the tried and true bangles.
The Cuff
The cuff is such a statement piece that it can really set off an entire outfit. Whether it’s the simple design of flat metallic, or more intricate with jewels or beadwork, the cuff can add an edgy, fun element to your look. Try wearing a silver cuff with a simple white tank and jeans or a decorative gold one with a bohemian inspired dress. Pull back on other loud pieces to let the cuff be your focal point.
The Bangle
There will always be an element of gypsy while wearing bangles, but that has something to do with their lasting power. They’re the ultimate in free-spirited accessories, and come in a wide variety of styles. Whether trying to create the jingle effect with multiple thin bangles or just a chunky one, these are always a fun addition to any outfit. The best part? They can be dressed up or dressed down, so play around with them.
